Hi all, just an FWI. I don't have one. I don't even have any UMW stuff.
This is just for interest:

SlowMotion is infamous around these parts
I think the xpipe design could do lots for back pressure and sound!

Guys, the exhaust is not 100% finished (needs final welding and O2 bungs), so it will be another week or so before you'll get a sound clip.

Interesting. It looks a little like GMG's WC-GT system. Can't wait for the sound clips!

VERY interesting considering this GMG statement:

"features a proprietary (patent pending) cross over center section"

I wonder if there is therefore a legal issue.

i will second that - the x over pipe has been around for a long time, so patenting it... hmmm there would have to be some other kind of novelty that differentiates it over all the prior art. hope you have it, otherwise it may be a very expensive patent prosecution fee....

On rennlist.com....

Kevin said 3800 to 4000 or so. So, for high powered cars or ones going up one day, a fair price.

On a patent....all one has to show to make the patent claims void is that it was done in the past. It has been....while it is similar to GMG in the picture, neither is "new" enough to patent. I am no lawyer though, but I suspect money will be better spent by all on being friends and giving goos service.


Anyway, I am sticking with my TWJ. It allows me to get into enough trouble as it is, and it sounds super. It is also about 50 dollars.

GMG's system is $4900 and there's is a sound clip on their website but (and i know a lot of people say this) it really doesnt sound anything like it. If people are interested i could possibly (depending on how busy Fabryce is and if the car is up and running well) run down to GMG and get a couple flybys at WOT. Trust me, it sounds wayyy different on the street especially filmed with a decent camera.
